Monday marks the official start of Norwich’s budget season, as City Manager Alan Bergren is scheduled to deliver his proposed 2013-14 spending plan to aldermen.

City Hall is keeping details of the plan under wraps until Bergren has a chance to talk about its specifics with council members, but a full slate of budget workshops and public hearings are planned over the next several weeks to provide the public with more information.

Currently, Norwich is working with a $114.7 million budget that allowed the city to add a full-time firefighter and slightly more hours for a part-time employee in the clerk’s office.

The fiscal year ends June 30, which gives the City Council nearly two months to negotiate with department heads and school district officials and reach a final spending plan for the coming fiscal year.

Superintendent Abby Dolliver has already won tentative approval by the Board of Education on a $72.5 million budget for the school system that holds public spending nearly flat but includes a 2.15 percent tuition increase for Norwich Free Academy.

“We’re not eliminating anything, but it doesn’t pay for us to do much of anything else,” Dolliver said.

Departmental hearings start on Thursday with the city clerk, recreation, the registrar, the corporation counsel, Otis Library, human services and finance appearing before the council to outline needs in the coming year.

On Saturday, the city’s police, fire and emergency management departments will make pitches. The first public hearing on the 2013-14 budget is at 7:30 p.m. April 8 at City Hall.
